Victor Magtanggol director Dominic Zapata became the brilliant interpreter behind Kapuso fantaseries like Mulawin, Darna, Captain Barbell, My Husband’s Lover and Alyas Robin Hood. In an exclusive interview with GMA Network, Direk Dominic addressed the bashers of the show.
Not a copycat of Marvel’s Thor
Direk Dominic also explained that both Marvel and Victor Magtanggol borrowed the mythology of Norse culture. He also added that Marvel never received hate when they borrowed Thor from the Norse culture.
“Nafru-frustate ako kasi nung ginawa ‘yan ng Marvel, hiniram lang nila yan sa Norse Mythology, tinira ba sila? Tinira ba sila ng Pinoy? Hindi. Pero nung tayo gumawa sarili natin titirahin natin, pareho lang tayo nanghiram sa Norse culture. So, bakit tayo ganun sa sarili natin?”
More than 200 people relying on Victor Magtanggol to earn a living
Direk Dominic also pointed out how 200 people rely on the program to earn a living for their families.
“Sige na, bash it all you want but for you to tell people na parang indirectly na huwag n’yo panoorin ‘to. Para sa mga taong ‘yun please understand na every show employs about over 200 people.”
Direk Dominic also added that every time bashers boycott a program, it meant boycotting individuals working hard for their families.
“Dalawang daang tao po ang umaasa sa kanilang programa para mayrun po silang kikitain, may madala silang hanapbuhay for the next three to four months. Hoping five months maybe even six months ganun po ‘yung industriya namin… So every time po na gusto n’yo mang-bash ng show and make people not watch that please remember that this show represents not only individuals, but their families as well.”
Direk Dominic also confidently said that Victor Magtanggol is a quality project. He also pointed out that people should still give it a shot before jumping into a conclusions.
“We are only trying to make an honest living and we will not shortchange you with something that’s trash. It’s quality work, so give it a shot.”
